CS 2710 Rules for
submitting programming assignments

Rules:

Programs: All programs submitted to us should preferably be written in C/C++.
If they are written in a different programming language (e.g. Java), be sure to include a readme
with instructions to run your programs.

Data: Please avoid sending us back data files unless your are explictly asked to
do so in the assignment.

Submission format

WINDOWS: Submit (the source code for) all programs and files requested
in a single .zip file created with WinZip/PKZip. Use
YourFirstName-YourLastName.zip
to name the file, for example, Jane-Doe.zip.

UNIX:
Submit all programs and files requested in a single .tar
archive file. Use
YourFirstName-YourLastName.tar
to name the file,
for example, Jane-Doe.tar.

Creating .tar files in UNIX.
To create a .tar file use:
> tar -cvf Jane-Doe.tar ./
in unix which archives all the files in the current directory and stores
them in the file Jane-Doe.tar. To archive only .m files use:
> tar -cvf ./Jane-Doe.tar ./*.m
To extract the archived files in the current directory use:
> tar -xvf Jane-Doe.tar
command.

Please avoid including directory structure into the archive files.
Submission

The file YourFirstName-YourLastName.{tar or zip} should be submitted to us by
an anonymous ftp to: ftp://ftp.cs.pitt.edu/incoming/CS2710/
If you have a .cs account you can copy the file directly into /afs/cs.pitt.edu/public/incoming/CS2710/.
In exceptional cases, you may submit your archive file via e-mail sent
to the TA of the course, Tomas Singliar, at tomas@cs.pitt.edu.

Corrections or What to do if I find a mistake once the file has been submitted?
Please note that once the file is submitted you won't be able to
delete it or overwrite it. If you find a mistake in your programs after the
submission and still before the deadline, create a new .tar or .zip file
YourFirstName-YourLastName-VersionNumber.{tar or zip} and submit it as
described above. The file with the highest VersionNumber will be
considered to be your final submission.
